400hp car + teen showing off = crash
Common knowledge, I don't want to hear that "But mommy bought it and i'm mature" crap either. |

I read the link as, "car crashes leading cause of teen death sinus," and was like, huh?
I got it now  But in all seriousness, is this statistic really all that shocking to people? I don't mean to sound insensitive here, but isn't this just another "bleeding hearts" vs. "survival of the fittest" struggle? Let me preface this by saying, I can't even begin to imagine the pain and suffering that a parent goes through when losing a child, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But, statistically speaking, kids are going to do the stupidest things and in the end their survival depends on how stupid they want to act. Yes, there are always situations where a child dies and it's not attributed to them doing something dumb and that is truly tragic. But the overwhelming majority of teens that die in car crashes are the results of poor decision making, probably due to (and this is just my opinion here) a lack of parental oversight. We're never going to see a teen mortality rate of zero (meaning every child survives their teens), but that doesn't stop these bleeding hearts from thinking they can enact laws or regulations that will attempt to attain that. At some point you've got to say, "enough is enough," and recognize that there's only so much you can do to prepare people for the grim reality of life. This whole culture of "let's-put-warning-labels-on-everything" is starting to drive this country stupid. . . . Hmm...I didn't realize I was so passionate about the subject.  [/rant]

To be honest it's a lot lower than i would have expected. Sad that any child dies.
